Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well settling in a good position tracking the leaders and demonstrating strong early speed. He finished fifth, beaten two lengths. This time with a 2lb weight reduction, having previous form over this course and distance, and with competitive sectionals, drawing a favorable barrier, he has potential to lead. The jockey understands the horse's weaknesses, and trainer-jockey combination is reasonable. Despite a weak finishing kick, as long as he jumps cleanly and aims for an early lead, he could improve his position.
